As Transporters are fairly compact inside, anything over 1KW will heat up the area adequately even in winter, so don’t worry too much about buying the most powerful one, you are better to focus on the actual functions that each offers.

This burn cycle takes place in a separate chamber from the inside camper air. Webasto, a leading manufacturer in leisure vehicle appliances, supplies heating components for thousands of vehicles around the globe. One of those appliances is the very popular diesel air heater called the Air Top 2000 STC. Available for a number of years, this heater is compact, super quiet, and made using high-quality materials.

As with most things, it’s really a case of “you get what you pay for.” A Webasto heater, for example, is made from the highest quality materials, offers a multitude of features and functions, and is highly rated by users. Purchasing a cheap Chinese diesel heater is a bit more of a gamble — you’ll spend way less money, you won’t be buying with as much confidence. Warranty

Regards heating power, this heater has a maximum heat output of 5000 watts; more than enough power to heat a large campervan efficiently. Katie, this is a great source of advice.
